As much as I would recommend against actually living in Tokyo, it's an amazing experience. Kyoto and Osaka are better, though the fashion scene(s) are a bit less established/easy to find.

Hong Kong is next on my list, seems amazing.

Lots of South America is amazing if you like the sun and tropical feeling while feeling rich as fuck, but I don't think I'd particularly consider it Veeky Forums.

östermalm and södermalm are both very effay. lots of nice stores, vintage slackercore/mods-inspired styles dominate in south side (by the people who know how to dress that is) while preppy, monochrome as well as more avant-garde fashion is more of an east side thing. check out aplace, nitty gritty, trés bien and maybe beyond retro (very memey but still okay)

July 14, 2016 - 02:50

Jeremiah Ortiz

I live near Tokyo and I'm about to go to Osaka for the first time. Where are the Veeky Forums places?

July 14, 2016 - 05:36

Nathaniel Bailey

You should definitely check out Harajuku, Ginza, and Shibuya, and probably in that order (Shibuya is better at night). Harajuku has a lot of smaller and more interesting stores but is somewhat inundated with big brands at this point, Ginza is over-rich and kinda fascinating to that end, and Shibuya is its own sort of crazy cool animal.

Akihabara is also worth a visit if you're a turbonerd like me.

If you're a scumbag like me, Golden Gai is also awesome, go chill out with some of the drunk-as-fuck mobbed up bartenders. Ditto with Kabukicho.

roppongi is cool if you're loaded. I think the new west walk in roppongi hills is worth checking out by itself if you're in the Tokyo area... Undercover, Sophnet, Facetasm, N. Hoolywood.

seconding shibuya at night and in harajuku you have to go upstairs and into basements and stuff to find the best stores

ginza is cool. even if you don't want to buy anything, dover st market is a really cool retail space and it's right next to Barneys and not too far from hiroshi fujiwara's newest concept store, PAR KING Ginza (in the Sony building

and I'm pretty sure he was asking for Veeky Forums places in osaka, in which case:

- Dotonbori is so damn touristy it's not even funny, but not in the tacky chinese souvenirs way... you'll still enjoy it but just be conscious that most of the food/items there are pretty overpriced. Also worth checking out at night.

- Down one end of dotonbori (near a stadium of some sort, i believe) is orange st, which has supreme, bape, a few great 2nd hand stores, i think there's a carhartt somewhere around as well, and a pretty good coffee shop. That area is cool.

- around the orange st area there's tons of 2nd hand/reseller stores (similar to harajuku, really) where you'll find a few cool pieces for sure; prices aren't too bad either.

- Namba parks shopping centre (pic related) is also very Veeky Forums, not the best stores IMO but looks really cool.

- I also enjoyed universal studios quite a bit to be honest. are theme parks Veeky Forums? good rides and not that busy if you go in the week

Agreed. I just got back from Iceland last week. We spent 2 days in the capitol out of 8 days. That was more than enough. I LIVE in a city. I don't go on vacation to spend time doing the same shit I have to experience in everyday life.

We did a 4 day hike where we maybe saw 15 people every day. That was one of the most enlightening experiences I have had in my entire life. If you're going to a place like Iceland and spending the entire time browsing boutiques in Reykjavik you're doing it entirely wrong.

I bought my first item of fjallraven clothing for that hike ( a set of abisko trousers that performed magnificently). I am probably not going to get anything from them again in the near future but the pants were great for the money.

There were showers and hot water. Not to mention cabins for rent. Boats are claustrophobic and dirty

a quote from my reading today:

>The country morning exists; the city morning promises. The former makes one live; the latter makes one think. And I'm doomed always to feel, like the world's great damned men, that it's better to think than to live.

as a city lover myself, this quote reflects a lot of what i feel w/r/t country v city. i love the outdoors and country for what it has, but will always be at home in the city and would not desire a foreign countryside before even the worst foreign city. but travel where you want my man! if the countryside is your jam, do it!

Whoops, my bad. That's what I get for quickly posting.

To actually answer the question not like an asshole, just explore Osaka blindly. I wouldn't consider it an ~Veeky Forums~ sort of place, but that's part of the appeal. Go fuck around and drink near the rivers, people in Osaka are chill and 300x more fun than those in Tokyo. Most of the good times I had in that area weren't shopping or whatever, but generally involved bad beer, bad street food, and good people.

Also, while in the area, get legit-ass Okonomiyaki. "Legit" means "fuckin filled with meat and noodles." Trust me, it's an orgasmic sort of food.

Well, assuming you're in England, and wanted to go for 2 weeks in July, a return with no stops would cost like £700, a half decent airbnb in Shibuya would cost around £600 for 2 weeks, then I guess you'd need £500 for everything else.

I'm sorry you had a bad experience but really most people who live here in stockholm doesn't get to experience stuff like that, it's mostly old men masturbating to chicks on the subway, or slimy guys in pubsska du inte säga att feministbruttor är feta och fula också, ditt original

Living quality sucks. The work culture is extremely oppressive to the point of silliness, even more so than the legal culture here (which is really saying something). Depending on what you do, you'll likely end up being a white potted plant. The food is great but it is extremely difficult to eat healthy, and it's even harder to find good lifting gyms. Foreigners aren't exactly treated well, particularly in terms of healthcare - when I got sick, I had difficulty even getting a doc to see me, and he outright refused to Rx some goddamn flu medicine. You'll always have difficulties phoning home or talking with friends back home, the $$$ conversion rate sucks, and you'll always be futzing around with paper forms in Japanese that are difficult to translate. In terms of dating, most Japanese girls are boring and just want white dick, which is fun until you realize they are unequivocally bad at sex.

It's like living in NYC but worse. The appeal of Japan is great, albeit only for a short period of time. I'd definitely recommend living there, albeit limited to a few months.

Rough back-of-the-envelope calculations, assuming you're in the US:- $1,500-ish for a flight (sometimes can get cheaper)- $1,100+ for a hotel (don't do capsule hotels, consider Airbnb, it's more fun)- $1,000 for food (go cheap, but also prepare to blow cash at nicer places)- $300 for transport (might wanna budget more, depending on the likelihood you'll get stranded out when the trains stop and need to use a taxi)

= ~$3,900

You should also be realistic about budgeting for incidentals. Japan is an extremely consumerist economy, so most of the non-tourist-trap places cost money to enjoy. You'll also, of course, be super tempted to buy a lot.

What? I've never had an issue at a hospital and I've been there multiple times. I live about forty out of Shinjuku and the people there were incredibly nice and helpful and happy to have someone to speak English to.

>You'll always have difficulties phoning home or talking with friends back home,

What is Skype and Facebook Messenger? Go to BIC Camera and get a damn 900 yen a month sim card and you'll have no problem. fuck's sake

July 15, 2016 - 05:06

Jacob Morgan

As to the hospital situation, our experiences may simply have varied.

As for the Skype and Facebook thing, it's not a tech issue, it's a timing issue. It can be incredibly limiting to be 12 hours off from the US, both from a business and a social standpoint. At the time, I had a number of business interests going on in the US, and arranging that shit was a nightmare.
